That's still ridiculous for a megaminx, especially when the galaxy v2 and YuHu v2 are just as good if not better.

What I heard from @CuberStache is that the Gan Megaminx is on par with the Galaxy v2 M and the Yuhu and the only reason he doesn't main it is because of the frosted plastic.

Probably get the RS3M 2020, which I know is good, or the Kylin V2, which is apparently good

I have all four: Meilong 3M, QiYi MS, RS3M 2020, and Kylin V2.

Out of all of them I like the Meilong 3M best. It has the best colors, medium strength magnets, and is very smooth and satisfying to turn. The MS is good, but the colors are QiYi colors which I am less thrilled with, especially their standard green color. The RS3M 2020 is exactly the same, to me, as the Meilong 3M except with weaker magnets, noisier springs, and a tension adjustment system. The Kylin V2 is interesting because it looks stickered but is entirely plastic, which I kinda like, but it also has pretty weak magnets.

I’m considering getting a Bluetooth cube, but not sure which one to get. Leaning toward the Rubik’s Connected or Go Cube Edge. Is the Edge more accurate than the Rubik’s or do they have the same technology/sensitivity. I have heard other cubes like Giiker and GAN aren’t as accurate at tracking turns. I’m also considering writing my own programs around them if they are scriptable. Is this possible?

Does anybody know where to buy Meilong 3M in Singapore cheaper? All the retailers in Singapore I know are cubewerkz.com and cubistrystore.com (Give me some Shopee or Lazada link)If cubewerkz.com doesn't work then go to cubewerks.com

 

[TheSlykrCubr]

You could try dailypuzzles.au. Since it's based in australia, delivery shouldn't be too much (maybe 10USD???)

We at speedcubing.org would happily ship there (shipping would be £6.63) but otherwise Chinese stores are probably your best option.

Cubezz is going to be your best bet.

Should I get the Valk 3 M, the MGC Elite, The Tengyun V2 M or the Gan 356 M Lite? My RS3 M 2020 has a problem where the screw on the yellow side keeps loosening itself for no reason, So I decided to just get an upgrade.

I think that’s a stripped core. Don’t upgrade, the RS3M 2020 will probably be better than all of those. Check the yellow centre and make sure nothing is sticking to the screw and screwing it out

 

[TheSlykrCubr]

nothing sticking to the screw. I really just want one of the 4.

But why? The 2020 is better than them...

I do not like the feel of the 2020, and I just can't find the right settings for me

 

[Jam88]

i would advise the gan/mgc

 

[TheSlykrCubr]

thank you

Tengyun v2 or Valk 3 M
I use the Tengyun, brilliant cube, lots of customisation, clean feel.
The Valk 3 M is a solid cube still used by many top level solvers today.
The MGC Elite isn’t as good as the others - it’s main selling point was the level of customisation for a cheap price when it came out
The Gan 356 M is said to be a bit unstable

 

[TheSlykrCubr]

you two have just completely contradicted each other

 

[Jam88]

i think the valk is very hard to use, but its personal preference
